TRAVEL HOT SPOTS

HOLIDAY families were stuck in their cars for hours yesterday as a gas tanker fire shut the M4.

The incident near Bath closed both carriageways for an hour, with long tailbacks either side. Highway bosses expect more jams as getaway families make 20million road trips over Easter and another two million head overseas. Rail services will be disrupted too as Network Rail carries out more than 200 engineering projects. Trains to London, Manchester, Bath, Edinburgh and Glasgow are among those affected.
